Gondwana Game Reserve

I thank we can all agree that the Garden Route is a pretty spectacular place. Not only does it have the second most moderate climate in the world next to Hawai (I didn't say it, the Guiness Book of Records did, so it MUST be true), but it also has beautiful towns, like Mosselbay, George, Wilderness, Sedgefield, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, to name but a few. It offers welcoming accommodation of all kinds, some of the best wines ,
beautiful beaches and now it will also offer the BIG 5.

Yes, Gondwana Game Reserve is situated 15 minutes from Mosselbay and is in the process of opening their doors. The first camp is being called the Fynbos Camp and consists of 25 superior suites and 10 deluxe suites all decorated in what they coin "AFRO-CHIC" style. 15 of the superior rooms are built in traditional "Khoi-San" style and the architecture will thrill you.

They recently relocated two Desert Black rhino's from Tswalu Game Reserve in the Kalahari to the game reserve. Further plans include a pride of 3 lions (2 female and 1 male), a herd of elephant and Cape buffalo being release in October and November onto the 10,000ha land. Other bok species have already been release, such as red hartebees, eland, kudu and springbok. The endangered Cape Mountain Zebra can also be seen at Gondwana.

Other activities include, 4x4 trails, horse back safaris, guided walking trails and bird watching.

The opening is scheduled for December 2008.
